#WIPSnip and #WIPWednesday from the RBB with @gaywatson.bsky.social - The Art of Fakery unless I find a better title.

Ed is as down bad in 1830s Cornwall as any other time in place.

#OFMDfanfic

Ed’s throat bobs. He turns to face Stede. “I don’t want to be Blackbeard anymore,” he says quickly. He looks down quickly, as if afraid of what he’ll see in Stede’s eyes. “I know that.” Ed’s head snaps up. “You do?” “That’s why you shaved your beard, isn’t it?” “It is. It’s just–I like how I feel with you. Like last night—Blackbeard couldn’t have done that, but Ed could, with you.” Stede puts his free hand over Ed’s, where it's gripping the railing. “I understand, but I do think Blackbeard is part of you, darling.” “I really fucking hope not,” Ed mutters. “The cleverness, the brilliance, your fighting skills,” Stede continues. “You won’t lose all that. If you’re saying you want to retire, though, then we will retire.” Ed’s eyes go wide and full of hope. “‘We’?” “Of course!” Ed exhales. “I wasn’t sure. You ran away to be a pirate, it’s your dream—” “It was my dream only until I met you,” Stede says simply. “Besides, I don’t think I was running towards piracy or anything else. I was running away, like I’ve always done. You’re the first thing I’ve ever run towards, Ed Teach. Where you go, I go.

#WIPWednesday and the “living on your breath” boys are making a plan. We’re in the endgame now…

Stede meets QAR frontman Ed; fainting, mutual pining, romance, and a considerable amount of sobbing ensues (peak El Fic experience 😌)

#WIPSnips #OFMDfanfic Come Home to My Heart

Ed hates to prod a sore point, but he must. “If it is not an imposition, I would love to see them sometime.” He laughs self-deprecatingly. “I hardly know where to look for them in such a large house.” Bonnet sets down his spoon. “I suppose you will find this out on your own. I’m quite ashamed to say that my father keeps his more valuable paintings in storage to retain their value.” He is unable to meet Ed’s eyes. “Art should be enjoyed, not locked away!” Ed is entirely fucked. Yet perhaps it is not a total disaster, as it sounds as if the paintings might be on the premises. “That is unfortunate. I was quite hoping to see Gainsborough’s The Blue Boy.” It is a desperate gambit, but Ed looks up through his eyelashes at Bonnet. “Goodness, I would hate to disappoint your hopes. Unless…” Bonnet’s face brightens, and he leans forward conspiratorially. “Later, after dinner… Do you want to do something weird?” Ed’s heart begins to race. He must see the art, but more than that, it feels reckless and new to say “yes” to the manic light in Bonnet’s eyes. Nothing in Ed’s life has felt that way in a long, long time, and he’s tired of caution. Ed senses that Bonnet is, as well, given the passion of his outburst about how art should be seen. Ed doesn’t even need to hear what Bonnet’s proposing. He’s all in. “Yes, please.”

Here’s a peek at what @gaywatson.bsky.social and I are cooking up for the RBB!

What is Ed up to? 👀 🖼️

#WIPWednesday #OFMDfanfic

snip of the chapters beginning, reading: Izzy nearly forgets his line when he spots Fang in the New Unicorn's drag night audience. Sitting at their crew's usual table, he looks like he belongs exactly there, amidst Izzy's queer little family. With Jim, who's already done with their number, and Archie and Oluwande, while Pete carries a tray of drinks over to the table and sits down as well. Leaving a chair for Lucius, who had the opening set and is already out of drag, talking to Swede at the bar. He'd known Fang was in town, of course – visiting to check on Ma Black's dog, making sure his former foster was happy, healthy and well cared for in her new home. And while Pete and Lucius had made it to the Black's house as well, Izzy had been stuck at work forever, before rushing back home and getting ready for the drag show. He'd felt so bad for turning down the dinner invitation and not being able to meet Fang, but apparently his old friend had meant it when he texted back that Izzy's shouldn't worry about it.

Sorry for the delay, but for everyone who's been waiting: CH28 of Tales is up, in which Fang visits the New Unicorn and Izzy gets a present.

Ed is faster, having fewer layers, and it is extremely distracting. He’s bare when Stede is still wearing his shirt, trousers and stockings. Bare but for his stockings, that is, and he’s not moving to take them off. “I see now why you asked me to keep my stockings on,” Stede croaks. “Feel free to, uh, keep yours on, too.” Ed’s eyes are fixed on Stede’s chest as he undoes the ties of his shirt, and his cock is plumping up. Stede’s mouth waters, and his hands are shaking as he pulls his shirt over his head. It’s gratifying to see Ed gasp at the sight of his naked torso, and then again once Stede has pulled down his breeches and smallclothes. “You’re so fucking hot,” Ed groans. Stede scoffs, by force of habit. Ed raises an eyebrow. “Still? Let me show you.” He comes around Stede to his back, pressing a kiss to his shoulder. He gently guides Stede to stand in front of the nearby looking glass. “Is this okay?” Ed asks, propping his head on Stede’s shoulder. Stede has never quite looked at himself this way, but to his surprise, he finds he doesn’t mind it. “It—it’s okay.” “Let me tell you what I see.”

#WIPWednesday and a little bit of spice for the “living on your breath”boys - who are in love and about to fuck for a whole week about it 🙌

#OFMDfanfic

Stede clicked through the contact section at the top of the app and tapped Ed’s number to call it. “Holy shit. I didn’t even know that could happen. Witchcraft,” answered Ed. “Speaking of witchcraft, how’s your cat situation?” Stede asked, propping himself against his headboard with his pillow. “Hard to say. I have seen no more or less cats than usual. Do you think I need to wear both of them?” “You may need to consult with Frenchie for the full scoop, but I feel like one earring would at least have you at half power, but then it probably has something to do with resonances.” “Yeah, I have a feeling I didn’t get it quite right. I may need to align my chakras.” Stede giggled. “Best of luck with that. How’s soup?” “How’s soap?” “Bubbling along,” they answered together, this time both bursting into giggles.

#WIPWednesday for Ch 3 of In Name Only, in which Ed and Stede have a phone call. #OFMDfic #OFMDfanfic

I'm making slow but steady progress on my movie AU fic. I've written almost 6K words so far. I think it might be 25-30k when it's done. I might even post a snippet for WIP Wednesday, but for now, I only want to post snippets that don't reveal which movie has inspired me. 🏴‍☠️ #OFMDFanFic

Next day bump for this completed fic. I love writing these characters, especially Ed, even though he tends to go through it 🫣😀.

The next fic I publish will be for my very first RBB, excited/nervous scream!

“Here,” Anne says. Edward blinks his eyes open and finds that Anne is thrusting a coat at him. A coat. It’s short and navy blue with gold buttons but made of wool or something like that. He pulls it on and finds that it’s warm, though looks a bit stupid buttoned up. Anne is wearing one too, too broad at the shoulders so that the sleeves drip over her hands. Her hair is wrapped up in linen, probably because she’d gotten soaked. There is two in her hand, probably for Jack and Andromède, Ed thinks. And he kind of wants to hug her about it. “Thanks, Annie-o.” “Better than hearing you bitch when you get sick,” she mutters. She sounds oddly nasally now that he thinks about it. Then: “What’s that.” “Hm?” “That way.” She points. “South by south west?” he asks with a grin. She smacks him. “Shut up. Look.” He looks. At first, nothing. Then, the tentative flicker of a light. A throbbing flicker. A small version of the beam of light sweeping over the rock and the sea from the lighthouse. Their friends are back again, Ed thinks. Thomas’s friends. Or enemies. Or allies. Or crew. Fuck if he knows.
